lifestyle

i've been trying to make minor improvements on my lifestyle. in order for you to understand what im talking about, im gonna explain my previous lifestyle and the impacts it has had, then im gonna detail the changes im gonna make and what i intend to achieve out of it.
(that whole paragraph reeks of law essay style! too bad my next exam is mcts. wtf)

previous lifestyle:
i'd wake up at about 2pm earliest each day. but times vary from 2-4pm. then i'd make lunch and eat in front of the laptop while series/movie marathon-ing. i wont leave the laptop till its time for dinner, then i'd make dinner and return to the laptop. i'd bathe at about 11pm-12am and eventually go to bed at about 3-5am. yes, i sleep for 12 hours on average. wtf

effect:
as u can see, there is utterly no exercise in this extremely packed schedule. so obviously, im not fit at all. also these past few months, i've been getting sick alot and barely ever properly recover from my sickness before falling ill again. also, while i never had period cramps while i was in high school, they have become more commonplace for me now.
also, i always feel lethargic and unmotivated to do anything. consequentially, i havent done anything productive recently and have a host of unfinished projects. not to mention, i can barely concentrate on studying for my upcoming exams.
plus, sitting in front of my laptop for hours on end cant be very good for my posture or eyesight.

changes i have made:
i've set my alarm to 11.30am each morning.
i try to go jogging at least once every 2 days.
i try to by 10pm latest every night.
i go to bed by 2am latest.

so my current lifestyle is:
i wake at 11.30am, make lunch and fili fala (oh gawd, i cant remember the last time i used this word!) till about 2pm. then i take out my books and force myself to concentrate till 5pm. but usually that doesnt work and i end up only half concentrating and occasionally surfing the web. at about 5pm i get ready to go jogging. after some warm-up exercises in my room, im off and i come back at about 7pm. but i've come to realize that maybe jogging is not so good for my tummy or wallet because i walk past the shops at bayswater on the way home and almost always end up buying a treat for myself (the 1st time it was a double scoop of ice cream, and more recently it was a slice of tiramisu. wtf). at home, i cook dinner and eat it in front of my laptop then chill for awhile before showering. then i attempt to study till 11am and then chill till its time for bed.

yes, i know this still leaves much to be desired. so im gonna slowly make tweaks here and there. starting with my sleeping times. my aim would be to only require 8 hours of sleep each day instead of the previous 12. haha... plus i wanna push myself more when im jogging, coz instead of jogging, i mostly walk. wtf

speaking of which, hyde park is not as bad as i used to think it was. it does have its own charm and beauty to it. i guess i was too quick to judge =p

so hopefully my energy levels and health will improve and i will be able to concentrate and have some motivation to study :D

and i will leave u guys with a video that jo introduced to me awhile back. i suddenly recalled it when i was writing about my horrible previous lifestyle coz its so similar. aside from the alcohol la. haha
